Reading the grid
There are 169 different starting hands. Pairs run down the diagonal, suited hands sit above it and offsuit hands below. Each cell is coloured by the action: red for raises, green for calls, dark for folds. Move through the grid with the arrow keys and each hand is read out.
Hands and combos
A range’s size is counted in combinations of cards. Each pair can be dealt 6 ways, each suited hand 4 ways and each offsuit hand 12 ways, 1,326 in all. A range that is 43.9% of hands, like the Balanced button open, is 582 of those combinations.
Styles and player types
Your profiles, Tight, Balanced and Aggressive, shape PokerIQ’s advice for you. The player types, from Nit to Maniac, describe the opponent: their ranges decide your equity and how often your bets get folds. The two are kept apart, so your style never changes the maths about your opponent.
